Chapter 680: Big Chapter. Wenqing gets married. It's not an affair, so what?
"It's not an affair, so what's the matter?"
Chen Bo and Song Yunyun fell silent for a moment.
Zhou smiled at the two of them and said, "Well, I have finished talking to you. I will marry a daughter-in-law to my family soon."
"Marry my granddaughter quickly, Chen Ling will be happy too."
"Baby will also marry there, so that Wenqing from their family will be happy too."
Chen Bo and Song Yunyun were speechless about this.
There are always times when they are happy and times when they are unhappy.
But Zhou was right, Wenqing and Chen Ling were both very good children.
Chen Baobao and Zhaoyang are both very good children, so it would be a good choice for them to get married.
So they all nodded respectfully and said, "Got it, mother."
As soon as Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining arrived at the Ninth Prince's Mansion, they immediately said to the people below: "Go and call Zhaoyang over."
After Zhaoyang was called over, Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining surrounded her, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Zhaoyang, do you like Chen Ling?"
"!!!!" Hearing this, Zhaoyang stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.
Her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
Zhaoyang quickly covered her beautiful face and said helplessly to Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining, "Father, Mother, what are you asking?"
"Why do you feel... so ashamed?"
"Well, we just want to ask you whether you like Chen Ling or not. If you like Chen Ling, then we will treat him as our son-in-law and marry you to him."
"If you don't like him, then he will be your brother forever."
Jiang Zhao said, snorted coldly, and said a little unconvinced, "This brat, he is younger than you, likes you, but can he take good care of you?"
Hearing this, Zhaoyang felt indescribable.
Zhaoyang said to Jiang Zhao, "Father, how can you say that? It doesn't mean that you can't take good care of people just because you are young."
"I like him very much. His personality is a bit like my uncle. My uncle is a very good person, and he is also very smart."
"Chen Ling is very smart, much better than our brothers."
"What?" Jiang Zhao's eyes almost popped out when he heard this.
Then, Chen Zhining frowned and said to Zhaoyang: "Oh, you can still say that."
Jiang Zhao pointed at Zhao Yang, puffed his beard and glared, and said, "You know, they are your brothers, how can you say such things?!"
After that, Chen Zhining continued, "Although what you said is true, the truth always hurts."
"Don't be so direct."
"You mean, Chen Ling is indeed much smarter than the boys in our house???"
Jiang Zhao suddenly felt his whole body tremble, as if he had suffered a huge blow.
Chen Zhining smiled and nodded: "That's the truth, he is indeed smarter than the boys in our house."
"..."
Jiang Zhao was silent.
After a long silence, he frowned and said uncomfortably: "If you say so, it really hurts the hearts of me, an old father, and your brothers."
Hearing this, Zhao Yang stuck out his tongue, quickly pulled Jiang Zhao's sleeve, and said to Jiang Zhao: "That's not what I meant, father."
"It's not that the boys in our house aren't smart, but they're not cunning enough."
Hearing the word "treacherous", Jiang Zhao nodded, thinking: "Well, this does make sense."
Jiang Zhao frowned, coughed twice and said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about all that nonsense. If you are willing to marry Chen Ling, I will prepare your dowry for you later, and you can marry him. It will be time for a happy event in our house."
Zhaoyang nodded and agreed readily: "Okay, father, I will marry Chen Ling later."
But Zhaoyang was a little strange.
Zhaoyang glanced at Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining in surprise, "Didn't we agree before that Wenqing would marry a wife? But why did he marry me to him?"
"Oh, their intention is that if Wenqing gets married, you should marry him too."
Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining repeated to Zhaoyang what Chen Bo and Song Yunyun had said.
After hearing this, Zhaoyang couldn't help but widen his eyes, and immediately said to Jiang Zhao angrily: "But father and mother, if you two are like this, are you selling my daughter? Isn't this a marriage exchange? Isn't this a bad custom?"
"What kind of marriage exchange is this? What kind of bad custom is this?"
Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining burst into laughter when they heard this. Then they looked at Zhaoyang and said cheerfully, "Why are you so stupid? How could they really marry you? Chen Bo and Song Yunyun just said that on purpose. If you don't want to marry, then forget it, right?"
"Anyway, Chen Bo and Song Yunyun have already agreed to get married. Now we want to strengthen the relationship, so I'm asking for your and Chen Ling's opinions."
"If you two are not happy about it, Chen Bo and Song Yunyun should just not talk about it and let them get married directly."
"......I asked about your bad habits because I saw that you two were in love with each other. You don't have to worry too much."
After hearing this, Zhaoyang felt relieved.
Zhaoyang said to Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining, "I understand, Father, Mother, I will go find Chen Ling and ask for his opinion later."
"Oh, don't ask, he and you are of the same mind."
Zhao Yang couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's there to ask? Of course I'm willing to do that."
"And at that time, Chen Ling was there too, not at the Wucheng Bingmasi. He said he was willing."
"I see."
When Zhao Yang heard this, he immediately laughed out loud, "Chen Ling is a nice guy, he is willing."
"Yes, he does."
Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining smiled and said to Zhao Yang, "Since he is willing and you are willing, and you two love each other, then you can just wait to get married."
"After that, let your sister-in-law Qianqian prepare the wedding for you."
Next, everyone in the Ninth Prince's Mansion began to get busy.
Because Wenqing from their family was going to get married, and their Princess Zhaoyang was going to marry him.
Preparing for these two marriages at the same time really made everyone dizzy and overwhelmed.
They set a date for their wedding with the Yingwu Marquisate. Wenqing would get married first, and then Zhaoyang would marry there. There would be less than a month between the two dates, so they could stagger the dates just right.
Chen Zhining was mainly responsible for preparing Wenqing's wedding, while Qianqian helped prepare for the little princess's wedding.
It wasn’t because Chen Zhining liked Wenqing more, but because when the time came for the little princess to get married, the emperor and empress in the palace also sent people to help with the preparations.
Chen Zhining thought about it and felt that the palace might be more thorough in preparing for the wedding, so it would be better for the palace to help prepare for the little princess's wedding.
After all, she is a princess, and her daughter's wedding must be more grand. Otherwise, what if she gets bullied over there?
Of course, Wenqing’s wedding must also be grand, as her daughter is also a treasure.
Chen Zhining and his family prepared for a long time and finally got everything ready.
Soon, the day finally arrived for Wenqing to get married.
On the day Wenqing got married, Princess Chang'an was present.
She was about to give birth, so the people of Loulan would not say anything if she came to attend at this time.
And this time, Jiang Ping'an also took this opportunity to go on a diplomatic mission to Zhou and Song.
The two were very close at the dinner table. They had a good relationship and passed food to each other, which was simply the envy of others.
Next to them were Wen Guang and Qian Qian. Wen Guang and Qian Qian were a model couple, newly married and very sweetly in love. At the dinner table, they kept looking at each other silently.
These two pairs almost blinded everyone's eyes.
At this moment, a burst of firecrackers was heard outside.
"The bride is coming in!"
Everyone could see that Baobao Chen was wearing a wedding dress and was being held by Wenqing's hand. Wenqing was in high spirits with a smile on his face as he led Baobao Chen into the house.
"Worship heaven and earth."
"Two thanks to the high hall."
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
It was a familiar voice and a familiar process.
Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining both showed relieved expressions on their faces. They would probably hear such sounds several times in the future.
But it doesn’t matter, they are happy every time they listen to it.
And in the hall, there are not only Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining.
The emperor and the empress sat on the high hall, their purpose was to keep the situation under control.
The two of them also liked the children born to Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining very much. They even felt that these children had half the obligation to call them father and mother, as they had also watched these children grow up since they were young.
These children are very happy that they now have a good home.
"Send to the bridal chamber!"
The emperor and the queen immediately stood up and said to Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining with a smile, "That's great. Your two sons are now married. The next ones should be Wen Yan and the others."
"But speaking of which, Wenqing and Wenyan are of similar age. Wenqing is already married, so shouldn't Wenyan also be engaged?"
"Does he have someone he likes too?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining looked at each other. They had never heard Wen Yan say that he had someone he liked.
They smiled and said, "If there is someone he likes, he will always tell us when he comes back."
Jiang Zhao, Chen Zhining, the Emperor and the Empress were at the banquet at this time. While eating delicious food, they secretly observed Wen Yan to see what Wen Yan was doing.
But when he turned around, he found that Wen Yan was not with the young girl at all, but with an old general.
"Isn't that General Liu?"
"General Liu really likes Wen Yan. He can be with him at times like this."
Wen Yan and General Liu seemed to get along very well. Wen Yan would serve whatever he ate to General Liu.
Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining smiled and said to the emperor and the queen: "Wen Yan is a very considerate child, and General Liu is really kind to him."
"Look, General Liu is still peeling shrimp shells for Wen Yan."
"Yes, General Liu is a man of noble character. He has always had a lot of say in the court. He has always been a loyal and honest person. He and Wen Yan get along well, which will certainly be good for the court in the future."
"...Hey, who is that little boy?"
The Emperor and the Empress were watching General Liu and Wen Yan getting along very harmoniously, when they suddenly saw Yan Wu next to Zhao Yan.
Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining: "......"
"Why is Yan Wu here again?"
Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining looked at each other, and then couldn't help but say helplessly, "This is the state teacher of Loulan. He probably came here with the King of Loulan."
"...Loulan's state teacher, I see."
"I also heard that Loulan has a national master who is very good at planning, just like our Master Kong Kong."
"I heard that when a country is prosperous, great people will appear. In our generation, we had Master Kongkong, so our country was prosperous. If Loulan had a master, it meant that their country was also prosperous."
The emperor and the queen both nodded and said with great appreciation: "It has to be the King of Loulan who knows how to employ people."
Fortunately, they married the Grand Princess of Chang'an to Loulan. In this way, the two countries were tightly tied together and could not be loosened.
In this case, the diplomatic relations between the two countries can also guarantee peace for the people living along the border for a hundred years, or even more than a hundred years.
This is fine, this is fine.
It seemed that Princess Chang'an left her hometown when she married into Loulan, but in fact, the marriage really promoted diplomatic relations between the two countries.
The emperor and the queen were both relieved and a little sad. "Fortunately, she can come back often. Fortunately, the King of Loulan loves the princess very much. Otherwise, we don't know what to do."
The emperor and the empress looked at each other, then looked at Chen Zhining, whose face was a little solemn, and suddenly realized: "Hey, is that imperial teacher very close to Zhao Yan?"
"Are there any connections between them?"
"What does it matter?"
When Jiang Zhao heard this, he immediately exploded. He was so angry that he almost jumped up, and said to the emperor and the queen angrily, "My Zhao Yan has nothing to do with that Yan Wu."
As he was saying this, Yan Wu came up from behind.
Yan Wu bowed to the emperor and the empress in a somewhat strange way, and it seemed to be the etiquette of Loulan.
He smiled and said, "Emperor Zhou Song, Empress Zhou Song, are you all right."
The Emperor and Empress nodded slightly.
Then Yan Wu smiled and said, "Princess Taiping is very cute, so I couldn't help but get closer to her. I hope you won't be angry."
"..."
The emperor and the empress were a little embarrassed. It seemed that what they said just now might have been heard by Yan Wu.
But Yan Wu has a really good temper. He didn't get angry when they said that to him. Instead, he came over to explain to them and asked them not to be angry.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining looked at each other, and Chen Zhining immediately said with a smile: "Master Imperial Master, please take a seat."
Yan Wu nodded, asked Zhao Yan to sit down first, and then sat down herself.
